What is the difference between a pulsar, a quasar, a magnetar?

Only the smartest of you know. Explain in your own words.

    Quasar is a black hole ejecting mass. Pulsar is a remnant/neutron star that rotates really fast. magnetar, pulsar with strong magnetic field.

    A pulsar is a neutron star with ADD A quasar is a baby galaxy A magnetar is a neutron star that loves to pump iron so much, it’s willing to steal it

  • I believe a pulsar is a spinning remnant of a star, and a magnetar is a pulsar with a very strong magnetic field. A quasar is a celestial object that puts out an extremely large amount of light, even outshining galaxies, and is supposed to be linked to black holes in some way I can't remember.

      Pulsars are nuetron stars that emit twin beams of gamma and x rays. Magnatars are neutron stars that have a huge magnetic field Quasars are black holes that when feeding emit twin beams of energy due to friction of the gases around it. [spoiler]i now have my own question-what is an axion?[/spoiler]

        • I know quasars have something to do with the galaxy, so that’s a completely different category.

        • Pulsars and Magnetars are both similar in origin as pulsars are essentially just a rotating neutron star and Magnetars are presumed to be former neutron stars. However, Magnetars have a immense magnetic field even when compared to Pulsars. What it boils down to is that the rotation and other factors allow for a much stronger gravitational pull. Quasars are completely different from both Pulsars and Magnetars, they are believed to be the bright centers of a galaxy. They release tremendous amounts of energy and are formed around supermassive black holes. To put it simply it's a -blam!-load of gas surrounding a huge black hole.

        • Pulsar is a watch company. Quasar was a tv company. Magnetar I've never heard of. So they must make things for weebs, because I wouldn't know about that.

        • A pulsar sends out electromagnetic waves in pulses. A quasar is a galaxy's center that has the ability to shoot out streams of interstellar gas. A magnetar is a neutron star that has an extremely powerful magnetic field.
